King's Landing, Milan came to Lynn to report the situation.
"My lord, the identity of the cult leader High Sparrow has been checked."
Lying comfortably on the wicker chair, Lynn opened an old King's Landing collection that Milan sent someone to read. The book records most of the Targaryen family from Dragonstone to the establishment of King's Landing and the rule of Weiss. The large number of little-known secrets in the 300 years of the Trou continent can be called an encyclopedia of the old kingdom.
Not long after his order arrived in the north, the Gripen Legion still needed to make the final adjustment and defense before they could organize their move south.
Holding up this old book, licking his thumb carefully, and slowly turning over a page of parchment tied together by needle and thread, Lynn raised his eyes and glanced at Milan, and found that this time the beauty Britney was also following. , The figure of the burly woman covered almost all of Milan.
Lynn chuckled, "Oh? I found something, let's hear it."
"I took people to the muddy waterway to observe the high sparrow from a distance. The high sparrow looks very ordinary, and it is very inconspicuous among the poor. It was Brienne who first recognized him. He once When escorting Jaime Lannister in the Riverlands, I encountered the High Sparrow leading a group of sparrow companions and pulling several carts of corpses of monks and nuns who were killed in the Battle of the Five Kings."
Lynn glanced at the expressionless female knight beauty Britney, "Brenney, have you seen the High Sparrow, have you ever had an encounter with that person?"
"There was a fate in one sentence. The team of the High Sparrows carried the bodies of the six large scooters, which stopped me from asking about the way to Riverrun." Britney answered frankly.
Lynn closed the book and became interested, "Oh? Then how do you answer?"
"I saw the bodies of the dead soldiers stripped of valuables, armor, weapons, and even valuable coats. I guessed that this group of people was looting money in the name of believers, so it's no good. interest."
Lynn pressed, "How did you answer him?"
Britney's face paused for a while, and when she finally found a lord who could be loyal to her question, she could only answer very seriously and honestly: "I said, I'm not your mother, do I need to guide you where is the way forward? ?"
Lynn laughed.
After laughing, he pointed to Milan and said, "You found the High Sparrow, what happened after that?"
"Later, we followed the clues and found that after the previous archbishop was killed, the archbishops entered the election process to see who could be elected as the new archbishop. During the election process of the archbishops, the High Sparrow and his followers raised their axes and Carrying countless gold and silver on their shoulders, they rushed into the venue and forced other bishops to either choose themselves with gold, dragon and silver deer, or die.
Milan said and looked up at Lynn, and found that the lord did not respond much to this, and continued: "After the High Sparrow took office, he began to sell all the golden crowns (including the Archbishop's crystal crown), Justified by his gorgeous clothes, he looted the treasures accumulated by the church over the centuries, ostensibly advertised that the money was used to buy food for the sparrows and the poor. Even he himself wore only a plain woolen robe and asked other monks to do the same.
In fact, his alms are not worth much at all. The High Sparrow arranged for his henchmen to hoard a lot of treasure, and it is speculated that the total number may reach hundreds of thousands of golden dragons. And this does not include the nearly one million gold dragon debt that the King's Landing royal family has owed to the church over the years. "
Lin En squinted his eyes, and his eyes flashed with disgust and sternness for a moment, but in just a moment, his face returned to normal.
"You did a great job, Milan, so now you go and find out where the High Sparrow is hiding all this golden dragon, I think it's not normal for a bishop to have so much money, he might use This money does a big thing." Worry-Free Chinese Network
"As your lord, the sparrows are now attacking the former bishops of the Church of the Seven Gods. Many bishops are parading naked in the streets on the charge of visiting prostitutes, visiting brothels or even fostering male pets. Now all the old bishops of the Church of the Seven Gods are trembling with fear, afraid of going crazy. The sparrow found himself, and this time it happened to break through from the inside."
Lynn nodded, "Go ahead and catch the sparrow's painful foot, but don't act rashly. During the time when the Gripen Legion is heading south, we have to find something to do for the big figures in King's Landing from the inside."
Inside the Red Fort.
Cersei Lannister took the Lannister guards out from the drawbridge north of Maegor House, and soon met Marin and his party who were ordered to **** the High Sparrow.
Seeing the empress dowager welcome, the royal guards jumped off their horses one after another, and the guards in the white cloak quickly stepped aside and let the thin old man wrapped in the center of the team out.
Cersei swung the Kingsguard back, leaving only the Lannister guard in the red cape by her side. She stepped forward slowly and looked the old man up and down.
"You are the High Sparrow?"
"This is the name my enemies have given me. I'm not called the High Sparrow."
Cersei didn't say a word, and looked at the sparrow for a moment. She didn't want to ask about the old man's name, and even felt that the name of the sparrow was very suitable for the old man.
Looking at the indifferent High Sparrow, with no intention of salute, Cersei continued to ask unhappy, "Why don't you wear shoes?"
"The shoes have been given to those who need them more, and the poor lack everything."
Cersei frowned. "Don't tell me, just because you gave those poor shoes the courage to block the gates of the Red Keep."
The High Sparrow didn't answer, and asked with a chuckle, "You came to find yourself because of the recent rumors of King's Landing?"
Cersei looked at the old man calmly and didn't fight himself, his anger was not at all, her eyes almost burst into flames, she tried hard to restrain her emotions, now she doesn't have much willful capital in King's Landing Her father Tywin has despised himself, and even planned to let her marry a junior of the Tyrell family in order to extract the last trace of value from her.
Watching the bronze gate of the Red Fort in front of the Royal Road closing slowly, Cersei's face was cold and silent. Although the bronze gate was strong, there were thousands of crazy poor people outside the gate.
She still has some sense.
"What the **** do you want?" Cersei asked coldly in anger.
"It's very simple, the church can not only push public opinion, but also make public opinion disappear instantly, and even the church can publicly declare its support for your son Tommen I, the queen mother, and cancel the nearly one million gold dragon debts owed by the royal family to the church...as long as you Allow the Archbishop to reorganize the Order."
"You dare to threaten me!?" Cersei, who has always been sensitive to ambition, saw a touch of imperceptible madness in the High Sparrow's eyes, and immediately scolded the High Sparrow in front of her.
